Protecting your hair from the sun and swimming this summer

July 23rd, 2013

This summer has been a hot one, and what better way to stay cool than a nice dip in the pool or days at the beach? While it may feel refreshing it can also wreak havoc on your hair. But no need to sweat it (pun intended), you can enjoy the summer and have great hair with a few simple tricks.

There are two things about your hair that can be affected by the summer elements; the color of your hair and the health of your hair.

If you color your hair, it is so important to use the right hair products all year round to ensure lasting color. This is even more important during the summer time were the sun and chlorine can accelerate fading.

Always use professional “color protecting” shampoo and conditioner – these products are designed to be much more gentle on your hair then drug store products and can significantly extend the life of your color as well as improve the health of your hair.

At the end of the summer, or every month if you swim in chlorine often and feel a buildup on our hair, see your hair stylist for a Malibu MakeOver Treatment. This will remove all of the harsh chemical buildup from your hair and you will feel the difference immediately.

Just a few simple steps will make a big difference to the health and color of your hair this summer. Happy swimming!
